I grew up on raw milk. I am 74 years old and I am extremely healthy. My dad would wash the cows teats and her entire bag with soapy warm water before he milked her. That took care of the fecal matter that might have been there.
Great response. One of the primary purposes for pasteurization now is so the farms no longer have to worry about cleanliness. They allow the pasteurization do the cleaning.....Have seen cows with mastitis milked and collected with the rest of the milk. Eventually the pink milk(.blood.) will be diluted enough to where you no longer see the off-color in the large tank.
The pasteurization will kill any bacteria, so now you don’t have to worry about fecal matter, pus, blood, etc. getting in the milk.
We get all of our raw, organic right from the cow. Cleanliness of the cow is of primary importance. Bad milk is dumped.
